McMahon's Million Dollar Mania - Week 2

This week's password was: Watch Raw & Win


As he started dialing it was apparent that someone finally pointed out that he has to cover up the sound of the dialing since each number has a distinct sound in a distinct key.

The first winner was 15 year old Denzel Parker of Virginia Beach, VA who won $125,000. He asked Denzel what his favorite animal is, he said dog, and Mr. McMahon asked him to bark like a dog. He did, but the phone broke up. Parker said he planned to give a little to the church, take his mom on a shopping spree, get the new Smackdown! vs. Raw video game, and be in the front row of the next Virginia Beach show.

The next winner is Michael Leyva of Monroe, NC. He wins $100,000. McMahon asks who is the most handsome and most well-known individual to be born in North Carolina. Mike's answer is Ric Flair, not the answer he wanted to hear since he was born in NC. Leyva is a lightbulb salesman who expects to pay off some bills and maybe even his house that he purchased three months ago.

Out came Hacksaw Jim Duggan to help him, complete with tux, and 2X4 in tux. Hacksaw dialed, and when the other end of the line answered it was the guy's machine! McMahon took great pleasure in leaving a message that he could have won, but lost out cause he wasn't watching Raw.


They dialed again and got a DX recording. What is with all these people that have to have a musical recording answer their phone before they get to it? Jesse Jordan of Bethel, Ohio won $50,000. Jesse said he had two words for McMahon, but was stopped, and instead he had him do his impression of Hacksaw. Jordan is a 32 year old financial consultant who will help out his mom with some of the money. He also wants to see some pay-per-views, live events, and a Billy Joel concert.

Kyle Mathisen of Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. He made Kyle sing the National Anthem, and then told him he won $175,000. Kyle wanted to say something, but McMahon wasn't going to let him, but he managed to get it out before he hung up on him. Apparently Night of Champions is on Kyle's birthday. It was appropriate that he had to sing the Anthem, Kyle is a 26 year old disabled Navy vet who has been a fan since the age of three. He plans to pay off all his credit cards, his house, and loan some money to a friend.

The next winner is Becky Carmon of Advance, North Carolina. In honor of Ric Flair being the 16-time World Champion, Becky wins $16. The 55 year old airplane parts inspector plans to frame her winnings.

The next winner was Alana Ayres of Westmont, Illinois who was overjoyed to get the call. When asked about all the superstars she has ever seen, who was the most handsome. Before he could finish the question she was sucking up and answering that he was. She won $174,984 to even out the amount left.Alana is a 23 year old college student that plans to buy her mom a new car as well as pay for her college education.

After the break...

The winner this time is Peter Mauer of Bloomville, New York. He won $75,000. Mauer won’t only be expecting his $75,000, he is also expecting a new baby. (By the time of this writing they probably have had the baby.) He is a 39 year old that works for a pharmaceutical company, and is a big Stone Cold fan.

First McMahon announced there will be another round of McMahon's Million Dollar Mania next week on the special 3 hour edition of Raw.

Now it was time to give away the remaining $300,000. The winner is Frank Turbeville of Haddon Township, New Jersey. Turbeville is a 32 year old Air Force vet who plans to use the money to pay off bills, buy his fiancée a car, take a vacation, give his dad some money, and buy a better headstone for his mom.

Lex Luger Rehab is Progressing

June 18th 2008 10:50
Lex Luger image
Lex Luger former wrestling great.


Former professional wrestler, The Total Package Lex Luger was on a plane to San Francisco last October when he started having trouble moving his neck. By the time his plane landed in the Bay City he was in a lot of pain, but there wasn’t much indication of what was about to happen. He woke up in his hotel room only to find that he was paralyzed from the neck down. He managed to get to the floor somehow, but then was entirely helpless. He would lay there for about four hours before being found.

Doctors found massive swelling on his spine from the C6 to the T5 vertebrae. They felt the cause of the swelling was from the multiple disc injuries and bone fragments that had occurred during his football and wrestling career which spanned three decades. Luger was in ICU for a couple of weeks and was a total quadriplegic for over two months. He was transferred to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta in November. He has been undergoing therapy there since that time. He also had a double hip replacement performed in February. Along the way he has had to relearn how to do just about everything in his life, dressing, showering, everything.

He tries to share his story of substance abuse and bad choices with anyone he can in hopes that he can helped them avoid the mistakes he made. He is a much different person then he was years ago, a fact that even his closest friends, like Sting, have attested to. He went as far to say if he hadn’t changed that Luger would have probably given up and been dead by now.

The thing that changed him was a course of events that starts with the substance abuse, but more directly the death of Elizabeth Hulette, better known as Miss Elizabeth. She was his girlfriend, and died of an accidental overdose in 2003 at the house they had shared. Luger was hit with thirteen felony counts of drug possession for the steroids, body-building drugs, pain medication, and anti-anxiety drugs that authorities found in a search of the home. He would later violate his probation and serve two months in the Cobb County jail. It will sound rather cliché, but during this brief prison stay he found God. At this point it is a very good thing that he did. He said, “I’ve never been stronger or richer in spirit or as a man as I am right now,” in an interview with John Hollis of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

He now lives in an apartment across the street from the Shepherd Center, and is progressing well in his rehab. He now can shower and dress himself as well as some oher basic things, and can stand on his own for brief periods of time. Doctors have told him the swelling usually goes down in about six months, but no one know just how much function he will regain. They also say a complete recovery is a long shot.

It is sad that it took a stay in jail and becoming a quadriplegic for him to truly become “The Total Package” -- at least mentally and spiritually. I do believe he can do a lot of good in his present state of mind. I certainly hope his recovery continues on the right track. Good luck to you Lex.

For everyone who misses Stacy Keibler, and yes I know there are many, including me, there is good news. She will be in a new ABC Family Channel mini-series entitled, “Samurai Girl”. The six-hour special event is based on a series of young adult novels about 19 year old Heaven, portrayed by Jamie Chung,

a Japanese girl who comes to find out that her adoptive father is the leader of the Yakuza. She also thinks he may have played a role in the murder of her brother. She leaves home to be trained in the ways of the samurai so she can come back and take down her dad’s evil empire with the help of her new friends.

Keibler will portray Heaven’s rival who used to be engaged to Heaven’s current love interest, Jake who is portrayed by Brendan Fehr. You might remember Fehr as Michael on the TV series “Roswell”, and more recently on “CSI: Miami”.

Linda Hogan Wants Hulk in Jail

June 13th 2008 06:53
Linda Hogan image
Linda Hogan wants Hulk to visit Nick for an extended period of time.


As if the family didn’t have enough already going on. . . Linda Hogan is now asking a Florida judge to hold her estranged husband in the same Pinellas County jail where their son Nick is currently serving his eight month sentence. The charge would be contempt of court. It seems there is a court order which requires them to share the purchase of a condo they had started to purchase prior to their split. The condo is in The Palms hotel and spa in Las Vegas with a purchase price of $4.2 million.

This is a bit ridiculous to me. I mean sure they need to pay the $4.2 million and buy the place since they agreed to, but they need to reach some agreement where one of them pays the entire amount and purchases it, not each pay half and share it. The marriage is over, they don’t need to be sharing a condo in Vegas. Why should Hulk pay $2.1 million for a place where Linda will bring her new boyfriend, who by the way went to school with Brooke and Nick, and do whatever it is they want to do together, or vice versa for whoever Hulk wants to take there? Either one of them needs to back out, or maybe pay the money now and then sell it to recoup and split the money.

Welcome to The Wrestling Wrap Up

May 17th 2008 08:32
Hello and welcome to The Wrestling Wrap Up! I am Gene. I have been a wrestling fan since about 1978. Yes that's right three decades! The wrestler that probably caused me to get hooked at the age of just seven was probably Jimmy Superfly Snuka. I absolutely loved him. One of my favorite moments was the Superfly climbing to the top of the steel cage in Madison Square Garden and then launching himself down onto The Magnificent Morroco. From back in those days up until now I have watched just about every wrestling promotion that I could find.

I have actually attended a Wrestlemania, I was live in Atlantic City, New Jersey for Wrestlemania IV. I am in Tulsa now and if I have my way I will be attending Wrestlemania XXV at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas on April 5th, 2009.
